FREELANCE GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR PRINT AND WEB
Going from strength to strength I decided to take redundancy in 2008 and concentrate full time on the client base that I had built up over the past years.
Using my extensive knowledge in the industry and the “never say no” attitude, my mission is use what I have learnt over the many years to service, advise wherever possible, and maintain the many happy clients that I have gained over this amazing journey.
Nominated as a finalist in the catagory of Best Small Business (South East) 2016, at the annual FSB Small Business Awards.
The event took place at the plush Pullman Hotel at St Pancras for the FSB London Awards Gala Dinner.
